So yeah the Hololens. Neat. I can see some cool games and apps (architecture hell yeah).<\/p>\n
However I think people are not that ready or excited because we\u2019re far behind what technology is capable of.<\/p>\n
See it this way: if you haven\u2019t moved from where you live for the past ten years and use a computer on a desktop, wired or wireless internet didn\u2019t change your life. Traveling made you aware of wifi\u2019s badassery. Skype is old as fuck but if you\u2019re not using it to communicate with people very far away regularly, you still don\u2019t see how big of a deal it is. And so forth.<\/p>\n
So VR, AR \u201cwearables\u201d haptic feedback and all are out of our reality for like, years. I still don\u2019t have a tablet and don\u2019t feel like missing much years after the first one came out. I was waiting for 20 or 24\u201d tablets \u2013audio design on this? fuck yeah- but they\u2019re not coming because you make more money selling loads of smaller screens, I always forget about profit rules (rule #3: fuck people\u2019s needs).<\/p>\n
I think there\u2019s another problem: the experience, which barely changes. You can listen to music on your $700 phone with a $10\/month subscription and fundamentally, it\u2019s not different from my $20 USB key and my FLAC files. Firefox support the Oculus Rift but you\u2019re still reading pages of text. The biggest change so far has been mobility and we already have it.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s also this fatigue. People are already hooked on tech, know it\u2019s bad and now you want deeper<\/em> connections? Add the NSA and that\u2019s enough for people to chill and play a platform game. In 2D. With a gamepad. On a TV. Offline.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" So yeah the Hololens.
